first long ride & feeding Q

[Angstmufin@aol.com]

The vet has OK'd Laddie for a long trail ride this weekend.  He's been doing
lighter conditioning work--trotting hills and some distance work--this past
week and he's ready for his first long-ish training ride.  He's in pretty good
shape, although he's still got small pads of fat on his ribs.  I'm feeding him
12% pellets right now--any suggestions on what to feed him as his conditioning
progresses? 

Thanks,
Sara
